Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Endogenous trees or inward growing trees: Timber obtained from these trees has limited engineering applications. Trees like Bamboo, Cane, Subabul, Casuarina fall under this category. They are used for temporary structural supporting systems and are unsuitable as permanent structural elements.
Detailed explanation-2: -ii) Endogenous tree: In this type of tree, plant growth occurs by adding new cells only at the end of previous years. Such a tree grows upward without becoming much thicker. ✔ New materials are added to the bark’s inner side. ✔ The stem of this tree is too flexible and, thus, unsuitable for engineering work.
